primary baffle on cpc flocking

[redfox1971]

Quick question for those with celestrons cpc 800 etc,i seem to be getting a lot of bright halos on many of my astro images from the edge,and have read that flocking the primary baffle will help eliminate the problem,is the baffle tube same roundness size all way down or dose it go more narrow further in?.Has anybody tried this mod?.

Cath started a very useful thread on this topic earlier this year.  I'll see if I can find it.

Many thanks for the link James,first think i will push some rolled up card from wrapping paper tube up the baffle to get the length and shape correct.

Well job done now for a clear night to test flocking size of flocking used was 119mm wide by 254mm long.
